| Summary |
This timely new study reveals that, though South Korean popular culture might be enjoying new prominence on the global stage, the nation's film industry has long been a hub for creative appropriations across national borders. Movie Migrations explores how Korean filmmakers have put a unique spin on familiar genres, while influencing world cinema from Hollywood to Bollywood. |
